Unable to login to cvs server

[deepu]

Hi,

I am unable to login to the cvs server. I just initialized a new 
repository and modified the /etc/services and /etc/inted.conf files. 
I added a new passwd file to the dir CVSROOT and used the perl script 
provided with the book "Open Souce dev with CVS".

********************************************************************

address@hidden /]# cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvsroot login
(Logging in to address@hidden)
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server blrftp: Connection reset by 
peer
address@hidden /]# 

********************************************************************

Can some one please spot what the error could be?

Thanks and regards,
Deepu Chandy Thomas
